Nebulous Dawn

Nebulous angels vacant worth
Foresee no fortunes adulate
Dawn's desecrated, faithless birth
Supine mother to stillborn fate

A little late to the party, I'm afraid, in wishing you well-earned congratulations for your Poe win. Brief, but oh, so Poe-ish! "Supine mother to stillborn fate" - exquisite! Hugs ~ John

Grim and grisly, but certainly poe-tic! Great job, with or without the contest. :) Gershon

Poe makes me think 'elegant despair' so I went in that direction - appreciate your comment, Gershon!
